grappling with the myths 2

<< < (2/10) > >>

Mr X:
ok, it is funny you mentioned acupunture. because i was going to mention it in the question, as it is an needed distinction.

i think we need, for the sake of discussion direction, to define the line between new age and alternative medicne.

acupunture, due to haveing some research behind it, is an go to point for new age. but it cant be new age, due to being consistantly so old and on going.

new agers cant claim old age things is what i am saying. now, other chinee things such as meridians, that is old, but to me, also new age.

some definitions would be good, where do we draw the lines. the new age will take you from worlds in orions belt to the hollow earth, the mythology created in an period of decades is massive, but does it really go back to ancient china ?

there is and gap, and big need to investigate, the new age has all the answers and willing seeker could ever want. we need to know if it has any answers, and if so, what is the location of the answer. i dont think we are going to solve this mysteries, but there is no harm in trying.

if an person was really looking at it, they would notice where the new age overlaps, more than contradicts, then study the points of overlap, the points that come up again and again. do those repeated, constantly noticed points have any value, at all ?

for the sake,

"where do we draw the lines."

Good question.  Here are some to be getting started with.

Mr X:
well keep in mind i am both and genius and and idoit, so i doubt my interpret will be the same as what you intended.

My first thought is that it would be nice to talk to bmass, see why they are not on the bottom line. i didnt know france would enter the equation.

next thought is that we should, with the use of tech and wonder ful things such as google maps, divide up the world into segments. with quick and clear definitions, group up the world with some lists of established, ongoing systems.

the new age is not an religion or nation, at the most its an movement. if we can remove from its definition established old age things, we perhaps could see where the new age is, in an way. its like how an persons religion is an result of where they were born.  maybe the old age is all that keeps the new age running, aside from the pile of new age stuff that seems to come from nowhere.

the need to define new from old age is important. quackery from alt medicine also. we would be wasting our time trying to debunk or investigate acupuncture or tai chi. they are not new, so therefore out of the scope of new age myths.

the universe is amazing, space is so cool, but for now, and video game. the mysteries of the ages await, but video, mopeds, wine and ciggarettes, a reliable woman that i love, those things consume me. a baby kookaburra that i feed steak to in the morning. im going to go find an hemmingway book one day soon.

despite all that, lets do this. i will add "talk with bond about the mysteries and their possible locations" to my daily to do list.

just keep in mind i an 100% sceptic, (not as lifestyle choice, but i cant help but be), 50% agnostic, 30% toltec sympathiser.

But new age adherents generally think and/or hope that new age wisdom is fundamentally ancient.

And in at least some cases quite likely it really is.
